Know a new business?

On Feb. 25 the Gazette will publish a special section profiling people who have started Valley businesses in the past year, or who are doing dramatically different things at established businesses. The section is the concluding installment of Pioneer Valley Business 2013, which will appear on Mondays in February.

We invite suggestions about candidates for the Feb. 25 section: people who have opened a business in Hampshire or southern Franklin counties since Jan. 1, 2012, as well as individuals who made a drastic change in what they do for work. Call Phoebe Mitchell at 585-5249 or email bizprofiles@gazettenet.com.
